Ingredients

  • 12 oz chicken breast (cooked and shredded)
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tsp curry powder
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 6 small flour tortillas (8-inch)
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil (for crisping)

    Prep (15 minutes): Mince the garlic. Shred the cooked chicken if needed. In a bowl, mix coconut milk, curry powder, garlic, lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
